Hi, my name is Danielle and I am a Canadian citizen and my boyfriend Oussama is from morocco. He's studied here in Canada for three years and just graduated in June. He says he needs to apply for a post graduate work permit (I think) but he said in order to apply he needs to have a passport that is valid for a certain amount of time (6 months at least I think? Is that true?) but his passport expires in a few months. He's in Montreal right now trying to get his renewed passport from the consulate there, but he's been waiting for over three months.( I guess the issue is that Morocco is being so slow). What are his options? I really don't want him to have to leave for a year or however long it would take him to come back (if they would let him back at all). Is there anything I can do? The deadline is coming up soon (the end of this month I believe). We're both really worried. I can't be apart from him for so long what can we do?
Will they kick my boyfriend out?

Also: I seen something called Implied status, is he eligible? Is that the best option? Thank you !
It's mandatory that he apply for the post graduate work permit within 90 days of completing his program. If the 90 days passes and he doesn't apply - he will no longer qualify for the PGWP. Even if his passport hasn't been renewed by the end of the 90 days, I would recommend he apply for the PGWP all the same before the 90 days runs out.
Implied status isn't something you apply for. It's something you get as a result of applying for something like a PGWP.

Thank you so much! He's applying right now. We feel so much better thank you again for your help! Have a great day
